The writing craft in its infancy and beyond...My life on the path to publication and the writers who pave the way.
Today in Literary History
Today in Literary History...January 17, 1775: Richard Brinsley Sheridan's The Rivals premiered. Sheridan was just twenty-three years old, this was his first play,
Trying some new authors. James Morrow (The Last Witchfinder) and Daniel Stashower (The Dime Museum Murders). Actually, I've read Stashower before--The Beautiful Cigar Girl. But this is a different genre.

I have been sent several different genres to read by writer friends. I love the variety in my reading life now. I truly had missed out by just reading historicals.
Nothing new right now. I'm into another Saul Bellow raptus (happens from time to time). And since it's summer, I have to read my beach book once again; The Gambler by Dostoyevsky. I've read it ten times (or more), but here we go again >:D
I just finished the Trylle Trilogy by Amanda Hocking - a young adult fantasy trilogy no less - and I am well over the age of 16 :). It was excellent and I couldn't put it down. I've never read fantasy before being a pretty hardcore mystery suspense reader (with an occasional "cozy" tucked here and there.) I really enjoyed it!
